Hello all
Jan Pieter called on Saturday morning from the Shopper's Drug Mart in Port aux Basques. They had been in St. Pierre / Miquelon before that but were unable to call because their credit cards wouldn't work in the pay telephones there. Pim had called Nel because he had a European phone card in his wallet. According to JP the islands were unimpressive and the weather was poor. They had gone there because they had extra time to kill waiting for Erik to arrive. They had to motor in to Port aux Basques and there was thick fog. It was a long trip and they had to be guided in over the radio from one buoy to the next. They treated themselves to a big breakfast in Port aux Basques when they arrived.
Once the Shopper's drug closed on Saturday they were unable to make any more calls!
I have not heard anything since. Hopefully the Sat phone will get there soon - and Erik too - of course !
Now that I have figured this blog thing out I will let you all know when I hear something.
